Continuous bad news, about the weather, the economic climate and disastrous wars, dominate the media but what is not being reported is that U.F.O sightings are occurring on a daily basis. Many of these sightings have a plausible explanation but some of the UFO’s appear to be under intelligent control, such as secret government projects. Could it be, though, that others are guided by aliens? Attitudes towards the existence of aliens are changing. Children, in their films, and games, are made aware of their existence from an early age and T.V documentaries about possible alien visitations, in the Early World, are now treated more seriously than in the past. The attitude of the Catholic Church has also changed dramatically since 1614 when it forbade Galileo from teaching the Copernican theory that the sun was at the centre of the solar system. The Vatican now operates its own observatory and, in an interview on the RAI 1 programme,‘SpecialetgI’, on Sunday 8 October, 1995, Father Balducci, a Roman Catholic theologian, when asked if there were aliens amongst us, replied ‘There are already considerations which makes the existence of these beings into a certainty’ He added ‘It is likely that there are other beings who have a soul’.

The subject of alien abductions, though, is very controversial. It takes the form of claimed physical examinations, by E.T’s, and telepathic warnings about destruction coming to this planet. Memories of the event, which frequently consist of a vague feeling that something unusual happened, is recovered from the subject under hypnosis. Although critics do not dispute that people involved in these cases are genuinely convinced about what they believe happened to them, they claim that the experience was the result of a lucid dream or of false memory. However, this theory fails to explain those cases where the person involved was away from home, say driving in a car, where there is missing time, where there are unusual marks on the body and where more than one person was involved. Some subjects claim to have been abducted several times and statistics are said to suggest that large numbers of people, in various parts of the world, have been abducted over the years. Abductees often say that they were taken somewhere where they were led into a room. Their clothes were removed and they were examined whilst they were laying on a table. The description given of most of the E.T’s is remarkably similar. They are said to have large shaped, almond, eyes, pointed chins, long fingers and grey skin. They are commonly known as the Greys, (Grays), but there are also others who are more like humans.

Several years ago, I discussed the abduction scenario with the late, U.F.O investigator, Tony Dodd, and he told me that, in several of the cases that he had dealt with , the subjects not only described the same garment, worn by the aliens, but also the same insignia on their clothing. For many years, Tony Dodd was one of the best U.F.O investigators in the U.K. In 1978, he was one of two police officers who had a close encounter with a UFO. After that life changing experience, he devoted his time collecting all the information that he could find on the subject.

Donald Worley has been involved in UFO investigation over the past 38 years and he has studied 200 abductees. Worley says that continuous warnings, of future cataclysmic earth upheavals, have been coming from the Nordics who are often reported as wearing close fitting garments or long robes. These entities were given this name because they are tall, have blonde hair and they resemble Scandinavians. I discussed the Nordics with Tony Dodd, when I was making a documentary video on the subject several years ago, and we both agreed that they appear to have been somehow connected with our past. What I really find interesting, though, is that some people believe that the Nordics are linked with the Pleiades because these stars were featured, prominently, in numerous early religions, and legends, including among many primitive people. The Pleiades regulated some early calendars and also the beginning of the agricultural season. Many early religious sites were aligned to their rising and they were associated with the civilisers of mankind who, reputedly, wore long white robes. The Pleiades are also the claimed place of origin of various peoples and some folk believe that they will return there when they die.

Sceptics say that there is no evidence that Extra-terrestrials have ever visited this planet. But how many of them, I wonder, have studied the religions, and legends, of the Ancients and have seen what they said about this fascinating subject? Amazing stories about alien abduction appeared in some early traditions, but scholars regard them as no more than ‘myth’. However, they certainly tell a fascinating story and they, sometimes, include warnings about the evil behaviour of man. In a legend of the North American Native Ojibwe, (or Chippewe), a young boy, who was concerned about this problem, is taken on a space journey by extra-terrestrials. His companions take him to a lodge, in the sky, where he hears many voices. They then leave him in the presence of certain beings, who are described as Elders, and after they give him teachings to take back to his people, he is returned to Earth.

I remember reading, several years ago, a West African legend, possibly from the Ashanti, who live in Ghana and Ivory Coast, about a young man who saw a copper vessel descending from the sky. The vessel landed nearby and the young man was invited to enter. The craft then rose into the sky until it arrived at a huge village where there were many people. In the middle of the sky village sat an elderly man who warned him about his behaviour. The young man was then taken back home.

The Apocalyptic Literature consists of several texts dating immediately prior to the Christian era, and in the first century, and these writings reveal a story about certain events which, reputedly, occurred a few thousand years earlier. Two of the most famous works are the Book of Enoch and the Secrets of Enoch. These texts were excluded from the Bible because the amazing stories they tell are not in accord with traditional scriptural teachings. The story of Enoch is set in the ‘pre-deluge’era and his journeys in space have much in common with today’s Sci -fi stories and reports of alien abductions. Enoch is taken to a high place where he sees non -earthly beings, who resemble flaming fire, but who were able to assume the appearance of man at will. The hidden secrets of the world, and astronomical mysteries, are explained to him and he receives warnings about the evil behaviour of man.

Stories about happenings in the era of the Great Flood, are found in many parts of the world and, with a few exceptions, they are all remarkably similar. Because mankind became evil, a god, or the gods, destroyed the world with a flood. Only two people were saved from the deluge and from them the human race is descended. The flood story also appears in the Legend of the World Ages which was popular in both the Old and New Worlds. This legend, which describes the early history of man, and which is also alluded to in Plato’s story about Atlantis, tells of a series of past ages each of which was destroyed, by the gods, by flood or fire, when the behaviour of Earth people deteriorated.

In an allegorical story, set in the pre-deluge era, celestial beings escort Enoch to a high place where he watches the evil behaviour of men who are symbolised by animals. One of Enoch’s companions gives the animals a sword and they begin to fight each other. Could it be that this explains a legend of the North American Hopi Indians who say that a people in the previous age built a form of flying craft which they used to attack their enemies? Their foes retaliated and soon the world was full of conflict. The result of this horrible war was that the last age was brought to an end by the gods. An early Egyptian legend also tells how the gods attacked the evil people with an object which swooped down from the sky and caused terrible destruction. From the description given of this craft, we would, today, call it a ‘flying saucer’. Any suggestion that Earth people had flying machines, thousands of years ago, seems ridiculous but they are also mentioned in India’s ancient Sanskrit texts which tell of aerial craft, called viminas, which fought aerial battles and fired thunderbolts causing mass destruction. Was this all science fiction, the product of fertile imaginations, or were these tales based upon early wars in which these things terrible actually happened?

The Book of Revelation, in the New Testament, which is said to be a prophecy of the future destruction of the world, is a Christian version of a long series of early legends, dating back thousands of years, among the Babylonians, Assyrians etc, and which were concerned catastrophic events in the Flood era. This is what Revelation has to say about John’s out of this world experience:

After this I looked and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said ,Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 4.1.

And immediately I was in the spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.4.2.

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 4.4.

The day of wrath having arrived, entities described as angels cause fire and hail to be cast on the earth resulting in mass destruction. A similar story is found in ‘The Essene Gospel of John ’except that it tells of thirteen elders, dressed in white, instead of twenty-four. Similarly, according to Ancient Egyptian religion, there was a company of celestial beings, dressed in white robes, in the upper realm of the gods.

Specific details are given about the celestial beings, in the place called ‘heaven’ in Revelation, and this information, and the symbolism associated with them, suggests that the story of John’s ‘close encounter’ is based upon traditions associated with those entities who, 3,000 years earlier, were known to the Sumerians as the Annunaki-the Shining Ones. The Annunaki who, many researchers believe to have been Extra-terrestrials, were worshipped by the Sumerians as gods. Legend says that they first helped to civilise man but they later destroyed the evil people, on this planet, with a huge flood. The Sumerians arrived in Southern Iraq fully civilised, 5,000 years ago, and their scribes say that they were survivors of the Flood. Civilisation, in various parts of the world, suddenly sprang up fully developed, at that time, and there is also evidence of flooding and a sudden dramatic climate change. In other words, this era was not the Dawn of Civilisation, as most scholars believe, but its rebirth after the destruction of the previous age.

Professor Stephen Hawking has recently said that it was ‘perfectly rational to believe that intelligent life exists elsewhere.’ However, he warns that these beings might be after our resources and that we should avoid contact with them. If the religions and legends of the Ancients are anything to go by, then our world was visited 5,000 years ago, by aliens, and it was the evil behaviour of man which was responsible for the terrible disaster which followed. The indications are that the early history of man was much different to what we have been led to believe and that our distant ancestors were civilised by Extra-terrestrials who, as many early legends say, were linked with the Pleiades and the Flood. And even, more incredible, could it be that these entities were the Nordics who interacted with our distant ancestors and who, some believe, are visiting our world now?

The investigation of UFO's and related phenomena can be undertaken in a variety of ways. While some seek to photograph or film these strange craft in the sky, others attempt to find physical evidence of other-worldly artifacts. One of the most important and influential seekers of physical evidence is Dr. Roger Leir, a California Podiatrist.

Dr. Leir is by no means a quack surgeon. He holds a Bachelor of Science, Associate in Arts, and Ph.D. of Podiatric Medicine. He is Board Certified by The National College of Foot Surgeons, The American Board of Podiatric Sports Medicine, The American Board of Foot Surgery, and The American Circulatory Society and the Society for Non-Invasive Vascular Technology. He has been in private practice in Ventura, California for over forty years. In that time he has performed fifteen surgeries on people referred to him that claim to be victims of alien abductions. These fifteen operations have garnered sixteen very suspicious objects that cannot be reconciled with any mere Earthly agency.

Dr. Leir has routinely had these objects tested by some of the most prestigious laboratories in the world including the University of Toronto, Seal Laboratories, York University, and Los Alamos National Labs. Some of the objects recovered from the unsuspecting bodies of these abductees have been shown to have metallurgical anomalies like highly metallic, non-crystalline Iron, Crystalline materials mixed with common metals, biological tissue growing into and out of the metallic objects and some with isotopic ratios impossible to find occurring naturally on this planet.

An example of the types of objects Dr. Leir has recovered would include the surgery he performed on August 19, 1995. He had been brought two patients by the hypno-anesthesia therapist and abduction researcher Derrel Sims of Houston, Texas. Despite operating with the patients working under local anesthesia, both patients had sharp pain reactions when the object was touched. According to Dr. Leir, the only way this can occur is if the objects were directly connected to nerves which carried a direct impulse past the anesthetized area. Another biological anomaly he pointed out is the lack of normal inflammatory tissue surrounding the objects but were instead covered with some sort of dense gray membrane his scalpel could not cut through.

Dr. Leir found early on that these objects tended to disintegrate or turn to powder once dried out so he developed a method of using the patient's own blood and plasma to hold the objects in during transportation to the laboratories for detailed analysis. It was found that the covering was composed of the iron oxygen-carrying pigment from red blood cells and keratin. What was most anomalous was that the coating was made from the victim's own bodily fluids and the objects encased before they were injected. Human science cannot do this. As Dr. Leir pointed out, if it were possible for Earth medicine to recreate this process the incidence of transplant rejection would cease to exist.

The object, when the coating was finally removed, turned out to be two shiny black metallic cylinders that were held in a "T" formation by the very coating that surrounded them. While keeping the origin of the object concealed from the lab technicians testing it, one of them stated, "Wow, you guys really found something here." It was not determined what metal or what function the object performed although Dr. Leir speculated that with the amount of anomalous nerve tissue within the coating it would most likely have been monitoring nerve action and physical condition of the body.

Dr. Leir does not just sit in the surgery. He has traveled extensively not only to investigate for more physical proof of alien presence but as an educated spokesman for the potential of extra-terrestrial presence on radio and television. he has appeared on shows as diverse as "UFO Hunters," "Hardcopy," "Tech TV," and the "X-Files." His radio appearances include "Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell," "The Jeff Rense Show," "Dreamland with Whitley Strieber," and "The Howard Stern Show." He has also been featured on radio and television in nearly a dozen countries around the globe and has been an invited speaker to the European division of the Society for Scientific Exploration in Paris. Dr. Leir is also a medical consultant for the Mutual UFO Network.

There are many Alien abduction victims who believe that they were left with some kind of implanted device, these are usually small and theorized to be used for purposes of tracking and mind-control. Some allege that the implants are biological in nature and are embedded within their own DNA strands; this idea is particularly believed by a group of family members that have been abducted through several generations in connection with ongoing Alien genetic experimentation.

While having routine X-Rays and MRIs, alleged Alien abduction victims oft-times discover these unexplainable objects in their bodies. The doctors have no explanation as to how these objects came to be there. When placed under hypnosis and abductee will often describe in detail certain operations in which a needle is inserted into the brain.

Implants can be found in the brain, leg, hand or ear. Some are able to be removed with little to now resulting injury; others simply cannot due to prohibitive locations. Of course it does depend upon the location of the device in the body. Sometimes these implants can dislodge over a periods of time.

There have been numerous implants that have been removed and carefully studied. They are generally quite small, at only about 1/16 inches in thickness and up to about 1 inch long. It is usually wire-shaped and has a complex structure with many layers when examined under electron microscope. The implants, according to tests, are comprised of various metals.

The allegation of Alien implantation was first reported in 1967. Betty Andreasson from Massachusetts described a tiny ball of spikes that had been placed inside her nose after an alleged abduction by Aliens. Soon after, the claim of implantation began to proliferate.

Some of the alleged implants have been recovered by surgical means. Some look like shards of glass, others like carbon fiber. None of these were found in the nose or brain; they were usually removed from a toe, the knee, hand or shin. Some of these have been accompanied by scars and some have not.

The burden of proof lies with the advocated of the belief in Alien abduction and implantation, not on the skeptics who do not believe in it. This is a burden which they, to this day, have not met. The concept of implantation, not unlike the larger Alien abduction phenomenon, simply does not have the necessary evidence to support the theory and make it accepted as reality. It is, as evidenced, simply part of an ever-evolving mythology of UFOs. The theme is of entities having influence over humans. This is seen in many different variations that range from ancient myth to modern science fiction of today. This will undoubtedly persist in popular culture.

The concept of Aliens abducting, experimenting and implanting devices inside us is truly scary. If the Alien implants are truly of extraterrestrial origin, we can only hope that they can someday offer information and clues about what or who their creators are, and also give us an idea of their intentions.

There are many aliens types, while not seen as often as the greys, the reptilian type alien is reported to be genetically kin to terrestrial reptiles. A theory for this is that they are the descendants of a highly evolved branch of the dinosaurs. They had purportedly escaped the meteor induced extinction event of 65 million years by having found a way to launch a "driven" planetoid. It has been reported that they are nearing the completion of the circuit that will bring them back to a planet they feel is their birthright.

When the reptilians are seen by abductees, it is generally in a superior position to the worker greys. That the greys may be a servant class created by genetic manipulation on the basic reptilian DNA is one theory for why the greys do share many similar physiological traits with what seems to be their reptilian masters.

One trait they do not share is their attitude regarding humans. While the greys are known for their attempts to calm the abductee and tend to work on them dispassionately, the reptilians are usually reported as being contemptuous of humans. There is some information that would seem to indicate that the reptilian aliens use some harvested human tissues and fluids as drug components for themselves. It has be postulated that the reptilians are responsible for the widespread incidence of cattle mutilations across the Americas as always there is a clear surgical removal of a few select parts in all of them. Other reports exist that say the reptilians are carnivorous and known to have a taste for human flesh.

Physiologically, the reptilians average about four and a half to five foot tall. Their skin is described as toad-like, lizard-like and similar to that of alligators. It is the character of the skin that tends to have few reports mentioning any clothing being worn by the aliens, either grey or reptilian. That an occasional environmental suit is reported merely shows that this seeming nudity is not of a Freudian nature in the reports from the abductees. The appearance of claws and talons on the extremities of some of the reptilians has been reported, thus indicating that they may not all be able to do fine manipulation of objects as can be done with fingers.

It is not believed that the reptilians have any real desire to peaceful co-existence with humans. That they seem to be in command of the worker greys, it does not bode well for the mammalian species of planet Earth.
